Yesterdays sightings

Yesterday was another bird/duck watching day for me. LOL I bet anyone who reads this thinks I have nothing better to do with my time. Well hmmmm ahhhh NO!! lol I tend to get up early wether I have to work or not, and with Miss Tia meowing right in your face at 5:00am its pretty hard not to move just to get her to stop!

So needless to say, I get up early do my chores and then have the day to relax and read / bird watch. I was able to enjoy the ducks they flew right into the pond in the yard and then hung around for quite awhile while I was outside. They hung around for a couple hours just eating and even napping.. I love the exploring they were doing checking out the water in the bird bath at end of the waterfall area, and then trudging through the muddy grass>

Checking out the bird bath

Trudging through the mud

I also love the House Finches, they are a pretty purple color and are a nice contrast to all the black and brown birds that visit.

Last up is a cute Robin taking a bath in the little man made pool. Kerry set this area up along side of our pond as the drainage for the sump pump it flows down a bed of river rock, at the end there is this small area for water to sit for abit before it seeps into the ground, or continues on its journey through the cat o nine tail rushes.. ahhh the sound of a babbling brook right in my own yard. Love it! Love the man who created the peaceful setting for me to enjoy!! Thanks Kerry.

Until next time!
